Ziyad Brothers Recalls Tahini For Possible Salmonella

Ziyad Brothers is recalling Tahini because it may be contaminated with Salmonella bacteria. No illnesses have been reported to date in connection with this recall.

The product was distributed nationwide. It is sold in 8, 16, and 32 ounce and half gallon containers. The jars are labeled “Tahini Sesame Paste.” The lot codes and use by/expiration dates are printed on the white jar cap.

The problem was discovered as a result of random sampling by the Michigan Department of Agriculture and Rural Development. The final lab reports have not been received, but Ziyad Brothers is issuing the recall out of precaution.

Check your pantry to see if you have any of these recalled products. If you purchased any of these products, do not use them, even if you are planning to cook with them. Throw them away in a double wrapped or bagged container in a secure garbage can, or take them back to the store where you bought them for a refund.
